Right now, over one in four children in the UK are growing up in poverty. But for them, hunger is more than just food. They are missing meals, returning to cold homes, and starting to feel left out of the moments that matter.

With your support, Barnardo’s is there alongside parents every day, helping them support their children through the toughest times. You’ll find us at kitchen tables, in Family Hubs, and on the end of the phone when things feel overwhelming.
Together, we can help children and young people feel safer, happier, healthier, and more hopeful by supporting families in their communities, in the ways they need most.
We’ve been changing childhoods and lives for over 150 years. And with your support today, we can continue to be there for children whenever they need us.
Your donation won’t be restricted to a particular project but will go to where it's needed most, helping us support children and young people no matter what they are facing.
